    Notice the interplay between social media open source analysis and MSM in certain areas--ie aviation.

    The first report came from social media and then The Aviationist picked it up and ran with it.

    Appears the ambush on the Ukrainian anti smuggling team WAS in fact an ambush by the UAF 92nd Bde who was evidently protecting the smuggling operation----typical of the systemic corruption that the Ukraine needs to root out.

    Pure Russian hypocrisy----


    MFA Russia ✔ @mfa_russia
    Envoy to EU Vladinir Chizhov: Russia has rich experience in migraion issue & is ready to consult other countries
    http://tass.ru/en/russia/818636

    First of all their weapons ie bombs and fighters and missiles to Assad has created this problem in the first place and their refusal to allow humanitarian aid into Syria just reinforces this hypocrisy.

    Secondly yesterday a top Russian Duma member openly complained that in aiding the so called ethnic Russian fleeing the Ukraine has cost the Russia budget 60M USDs and that it was "damaging" the overall Russian budget.

    So much for being a subject matter expert in migration issues.

    Russian non linear warfare being challenged by the IS non linear warfare--will be an interesting war.

    IS had months ago declared war on Russia and everyone laughed.

    So let's see just how both the US and Russia are handling the charge that Russian boots are on the ground and fighting in Syria----.

    1. US first denies any knowledge, then they are monitoring Russian military flights. BUT only AFTER social media gets adamant Russians are fighting in Syria.

    2. Russia and Putin openly state in true Ukrainian fashion--it ain't us it must be the Ukrainians............

    3. Even the Russian info warrior TASS gets into the fray and denies any Russians are fighting.

    BUT leave it up to social media to do their due diligence.............

    Soldiers speaking Russian in Syria 2:05-2:10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdX1...ature=youtu.be … pic.twitter.com/oHnfpC67gc

    BTW--80% of all intelligence is OSINT--open source--this confirms it yet again.

    Russians at NATO @natomission_ru
    A.Grushko: It is evident that the opening of NATO force integration units in six Eastern-European

    A.Grushko: This decision which is part of NATO efforts to strengthen its eastern flank will feed a…

    A.Grushko: This will also fuel a tendency towards the creation of dividing lines in Europe

    Russians at NATO @natomission_ru
    A.Grushko: Whatever the claims are that this step does not contradict the Russia-NATO Founding Act, it is destructive

    NOTICE that at no time does the Russian NATO rep talk about the simple fact that Russian activities with Crimea, and eastern Ukraine have driven NATO to this move---if Russia had not annexed the Crimea and invaded eastern Ukraine doubt seriously NATO would be opening these new centers.

    BTW NATO has repeatedly stated theses such centers are in no violation of the Russia NATO Founding Act—BUT actually NATO has documented six direct Russian violations just in the last year of the Russia NATO Founding Act.

    Side note--NATO tossed out 25 Russian military officers for spying and reduced the entire Russian NATO contingent by 50%.

    Here is the Russian beef with the Founding Act--they interpret the Act to state no NATO facilities, bases, troops etc. on the border to Russia--NATO states--not a problem since we in the 4 plus 2 German Reunification treaty stated and have repeatedly stated---permanent based troops are not allowed--rotating troops on the other hand are absolutely not a problem.

    Really quiet on the Ukrainian eastern front---no reporting--- not even a minor shooting incident.

    The Russian mercenaries must be totally bored and or totally drunk due to the enforced boredom.

    Will come off social media for awhile--am watching the Russian engagement into Syria development though and will post events of that on the new Syria thread as they appear via social media.

    More from the Russian info war front---taken from their info warrior media outlet Interfax.

    Russian troops and her mercenaries are still refusing to withdraw weapons of 100mm and smaller from front line.
    Interfax today:
    14:48 Arms withdrawal consensus yet to be reached – DPR

    Under the rubric of fake news and blatant lies---the OSCE has not indicated they will certify the Russian mercenary elections—and Merkel warned Putin in the last Normandy Four teleconference all elections must be held under Ukrainian election laws.

    Interfax today:
    14:04 DPR, LPR expect monitors from OSCE in local elections

    13:04 EU, U.S. may broaden sanctions on Russia unless DPR, LPR coordinate local elections with Kyiv - newspaper

    More lies and fake news—first Russia vetoes the UNSC tribunal for MH17 THEN they claim they have legal jurisdiction over eastern Ukraine under the Geneva Convention?????????

    Interfax today:
    13:17 Investigative Committee is convinced that tribunal on war crimes in Donbas will take place

    Russia still believes it has the inherent right to tell other nations what they can and cannot do---

    Interfax today:
    09:08 Amendments to Ukrainian constitution are instrument of struggle for power - Putin

    Rumors of a Coup in the 'Donetsk People's Republic'; Purgin and Aleksandrov Blocked at Border

    15:25 (GMT)

    Novosti Donbassa reports today that there are rumors of a coup in the self-proclaimed 'Donetsk People's Republic' (DNR), the spearhead of the Russian-backed separatists in southeastern Ukraine.

    Says Novosti Donbassa:

    Rumors have actively been circulating on social networks. In particular, there are reports from various sources that DNR members Andrei Purgin and Aleksei Aleksandrov are not being allowed into the occupied territory of Donetsk Region at the Uspenka checkpoint on the Russian-Ukrainian border.

    Meanwhile, a meeting of the so-called "Popular Council" took place in occupied Donetsk chaired by Denis Pushilin. Thus, DNR members are beginning to spread rumors that Pushilin and his supporters have seized power in the occupied government.

    Journalist Aleksei Matsuk reported live on Donbass Public TV that Purgin went to Moscow for talks with Vyacheslav Volodin, first deputy head of the Russian presidential administration (translation by The Interpreter):

    "As is known, Volodin has a long-time enmity with Vladislav Surkov, aide to the president. The internal conflict continues. Essentially, Denis Pushilin is Surkov's man. And Purgin is a representative of Volodin. We are simply watching a struggle for power between the Russian figures Surkov and Volodin."

    A video has also been uploaded to YouTube purporting to be an intercepted conversation with Aleksandrov recounting his denial of entry to the DNR at the border, and a verbal instruction that had gone to guards saying that he should not be allowed "without a reason" into the DNR. He said there was a long line at the border of people waiting to enter.

    Major Russian mercenary coup is now in progress inside eastern Ukraine--

    Whatever's going on in Donetsk with "DPR" Council (purge, coup, putsch...) you can be sure the Russian General Staff will come out on top.

    Amidst the coup-d'etat-faux in DNR, official statement "DNR may return to hryvna"..Something cooking there. http://dnr-news.com/dnr/24863-minfin...espubliki.html

    Looks like coup in #Donetsk. Purgin can't enter "DPR", blocked @ Russian border. Rumor's that Pushylin's behind it. pic.twitter.com/Q7ulikawEK

    As @olliecarroll says, a lot of confusion... #Donetsk #crazy #RussianOccupation

    Finally there will be junta they told all year about. And not Ukrainian, but their own one https://twitter.com/olliecarroll/sta...78040458264576

    Oliver Carroll @olliecarroll
    A well-placed source inside DNR tells me even he doesn't understand completely what is going on, but confirms "emergency council underway"

    Evening in #Donetsk. Lenin sq. No rallies to support Purgin and "People's council of DPR". How come? pic.twitter.com/uUjxcPMT3E
